The Great Ketchup Debate: Heinz Settles the Fridge Controversy

Ketchup manufacturer Heinz sparked a debate on social media after tweeting that ketchup should be stored in the fridge. While nearly 60% of respondents in a poll agreed, some pointed out that restaurants and supermarkets don't refrigerate their ketchup due to quick turnover. The USDA states that shelf-stable foods like ketchup don't need refrigeration but may change texture and color past their expiration date. Heinz's tweet prompted theories that they want customers to refrigerate ketchup to increase usage. The debate continues, and Heinz is running a poll for further input.
